The Meaning of Life

Always try new things in good faith.

You can not have a goal of life unless you know the meaning of life.

This is a big topic.

“Many major historical figures in philosophy have provided an answer to the question of what, if anything, makes life meaningful, although they typically have not put it in these terms. Consider, for instance, Aristotle on the human function, Aquinas on the beatific vision, and Kant on the highest good. While these concepts have some bearing on happiness and morality, they are straightforwardly construed as accounts of which final ends a person ought to realize in order to have a life that matters. Despite the venerable pedigree, it is only in the last 50 years or so that something approaching a distinct field on the meaning of life has been established in Anglo-American philosophy, and it is only in the last 30 years that debate with real depth has appeared. Concomitant with the demise of positivism and of utilitarianism in the post-war era has been the rise of analytical enquiry into non-hedonistic conceptions of value, including conceptions of meaning in life, grounded on relatively uncontroversial (but not certain or universally shared) judgments of cases, often called “intuitions.” English-speaking philosophers can be expected to continue to find life’s meaning of interest as they increasingly realize that it is a distinct topic that admits of rational enquiry to no less a degree than more familiar ethical categories such as well-being, virtuous character, and right action.”

If fact, the meaning of life is very simple according to one person, Jesus Christ.

He said: ” …. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of” (John 10:10)

Bible is still the most read book in the world. Jesus is still the most believed person in history.

So, if you believe him, the answer is very simple.

The meaning of life is real!

It is more real and better than you ever dreamed of.

Real Life is really good.

The meaning of so abundant that you have to acquire the fullness of it in the Bible.

The most important thing of understanding the Word is by interacting with Him directly, that is, by real prayer.

Most people do not feel that they can really pray effectively.

But if fact we are all capable to have a real inward relationship with God because He created us in this way.

So, start a new life by prayer in good faith.

A very good book for this real prayer is by Jeanne Guyon:

Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ.
